Hi! I’m Rhea Bernaldo, a first-year student currently navigating the "living at home" edition of university life. While my peers wake up in dorms, my daily reality is defined by one thing: the commute. Every morning is a "reset" as I transition from daughter to student. That time spent on the bus or in traffic is my sanctuary—it’s where I blast my playlists, cram for seminars, and romanticize the hustle. Living at home means trading midnight dorm pizza for home-cooked meals and my own bed. I’m here to share the real, unpolished side of being a commuter student. From surviving 8 AM lectures to finding a quiet study corner in a busy house, I’m proof you don’t have to move out to move forward. Welcome to my journey!
